What year? The Yazuki or either VDO units require different treatments. Often these problems are from cold solder joints.

Its a 1988 EUDM, i uploaded a pic of the cluster in the first reply. can i put a goot gasoline cluster in ? just change the Rpm gauge? or is that a dumb idea ?

Well, the shock cartridge sits inside the strut tube, locked in place by the gland nut. If you cannot remove the gland nut, you cannot R/R the cartridge and would need to replace the entire strut assembly. Or go to coilover, as you asked about earlier.

As you state, the tachometer in the diesel gets its signal from the alternator, so that is different. Also there are the D24T-specific indicator lamps for glow plugs, and turbo overboost. Wouldn't be too difficult to rewire those circuits to some unused indicator lamp spaces in the gasser instrument cluster. Maybe try a swap if you cannot repair?

This section has several helpful fixes for the instrument clusters:
